We family of 5 ,booked the Northen Lights private tour + airport transfers with Sultan when we visited Iceland in Feb 2024.Sultan picked us from Airport during our arrival and have been kind enough to make a stop for us to grab dinner and some grocery before we head to our accomodation.Sultan was always in contact with us providing updates on aurora activities possibility.Lucky us that we got to see some aurora activities during our 2nd night in Iceland. While it is cold weather at night while waiting for the aurora, it is very much worth it. And he even took the photos for us with the aurora too!Sultan is very knowledgable while explaining to us about the aurora and remaining info of Iceland itself.A very warm person while he put the customers need first.Overall we are very satisfied with the service and would recommend their private tour for those prefer a customized travelling journey.
wonderful tour organized with "iceland paradise tour"! Adnan is a very helpful and kind person! He showed us enchanting places, gave us food and water and was of great help in everything! I recommend the tour and Adnan as a guide! Thanks for all!
We had an excellent experience with a northern lights tour with Sultan. It was relatively short notice due to weather conditions. He made adjustments to time and did a fantastic job finding a good spot to see the lights and capturing some great pictures. Thank you so much!!! (Wish we'd done more private tours with Sultan. Definitely the way to go.)
Our group of 8 recently took a trip to Iceland with the northern lights being at the top of our list of things to see. We had reservations on 3 different nights with 3 different companies but they were all cancelled due to weather (we heard others did see the lights these nights). We reached out to Sultan at Iceland Paradise Tours as a last resort. He agreed to take us out and was determined to do everything he could to help us see the lights. He was extremely knowledgeable and knew the best locations. He had us wait in the van while he tracked the lights outside, alerting us when they became visible. We had a great time and Sultan took a lot of great pics!!! I’d highly recommend starting with this company!
I had an incredible experience on this Northern Lights tour in Iceland. Not only did I witness the stunning aurora, but I also captured amazing photos with their camera. To top it off, they treated us to delicious homemade hot chocolate and cookies, making the adventure even more memorable. Highly recommended for a magical Northern Lights experience!
We highly recommend Sultan. Booking private tours gave us the flexibility we wanted on our trip. We booked the South Coast tour and Northern Lights tour.Sultan was extremely knowledgeable about all of Iceland. On our last night, the lights came out and Sultan provided us with professional photos of our family at no additional charge. He loves what he does and it shows! We were happy to meet him and so relieved we made the right choice in going with Iceland Paradise Tours!
Just back from 4 days in Reykjavik 🥰 we had a few poor experiences with it some of the bus travel tours, but I highly recommend Sultan Mahmoud- Iceland Paradise Tours! Sincerely regretted booking with greyline instead of this guy, as they cancelled our northern lights excursion due to unfavourable conditions and on the same night this guy found them for his group, after travelling to Iceland with hopes of seeing them I should have paid the little extra, however I did use him for the airport transfers as for 5 people he was cheaper than the buses and much less hassle! He kept in contact the whole time and was waiting in arrivals, fast and easy transfer to the hotel and back and loads of great advice about where to eat and things to do on the way. The south Iceland tour I booked was with bus travel Bustravel Iceland and the bus kept overheating so that caused a few issues including my son almost passing out(amongst others), to avoid disappointment next time I’ll will be booking with Sultan for a super reliable, hassle free trip
Thank you so much Sultan the Guide for the South Coast trip. It was really a wonderful day spent with very professional and knowledgeable Guide. The whole trip worked well from beginning to end. We enjoyed a lot at different beautiful attractions.Thanks once again for making our trip memorable with your very professional photography skills.Highly recommended.
I booked a private tour with Sultan the Guide for the South Coast waterfalls and beaches. He turned out to be the best tour guide for the trip, arrived for the pickup on time and explained about the places really well. Also offered drone photography & videography. Highly recommended.

The King of Northern Lights lived up to his reputation!
I took the Northern Lights tour with Sultan, renowned as the King of Northern Lights tours in Iceland, and he certainly lived up to his reputation. His expertise in finding the perfect spot for viewing the lights was remarkable, relying on a mix of advanced apps on his phone and an almost instinctive sense of where to go. The lights were dancing and it was truly a memorable experience. There were strong winds that night, which caused his expensive camera to fall and break off the tripod while he was trying to capture photos of me. Throughout the tour, he shared valuable insights about different parts of Reykjavik, paired with plenty of funny jokes. We wrapped up the night with hot chocolate, the perfect treat after the chilling Icelandic cold.

Iceland’s geography, history & culture
I also booked Diamond beach tour with Sultan. His car was awesome and he made sure that I am comfortable and enjoying the whole experience. He is also very good guide and has a lot of information about Iceland’s geography, history and culture. He took photographs of me wherever given a chance. We talked a lot throughout the journey and I could never have enjoyed my time in Iceland this much without him. He is really a professional man who knows his job.

Airport transfer
I booked the complete tour with " "paradise iceland tours" it was great fun. We reached to the Reykjavik airport at 8:30 and the car's driver was waiting our there he welcome us with smily face then introduced himself and collected our luggage. This is how our tour starts. He dropped us to the hotel room. Then next morning he was waiting for us at hotel's lobby to pick us for day tour.The guide was well mannered, punctual and disciplined. I enjoyed the whole trip, every moment is enjoyed by me & my family till the time of airport dropped off. We reached on airport 3 hour before flight departure. Thanks to the driver and the company.

Golden memories in golden circle
It was a great tour, that's will remains in pleasurable memories, had great fun due to island paradise tour operators, the stay was very friendly and cooperative, specially the tour guide Adee is very funny guy, he just doubled our fun. Northern lights was awesome. At first day of Arora lights tour there was nothing to watch on sky, that was really disappointing but thanks to the tour company for rearranged the Northern lights tour again for us without charge us a single extra penny. Thank to treat us like a family and adding extra memorable moments in our boring lifes. Highly recommend 5/5 👌

Amazing day with Sultan!!
We had the best day with Sultan! He did the 5.5 hour drive up to the glacier lagoon, making stops along the way. He took amazing pictures for our daughter/mom trip of the three of us. On the way back, he let us add on to our trip to see the Northern Lights! Amazing! Great day in Iceland!! Highly recommend for your group private tour

Diamond Beach private guided tour
I recently booked the tour of diamond Beach private guide tour with iceland paradise tour, his primary guide Sultan mehmood. I came to visit iceland's miraculous and marvelous places from Canada with my family and it was unforgettable experience. From beginning to finish everything was perfectly organized and well maintained. Our guide sultan's professional and personal approach to make us visit memorable was beyond remarkable. He shared fascinating insights about the area's history and geology. He also took our beautiful professional photographs from his professional camera. The beach itself is stunning and it's glimmering icebergs contrasting against black sand; the view is breathtaking. Sultan make sure that we had plenty of time to explore the place and took our photos. He maintained his professionalism and work ethics so well. Our guide tailored the tour with our interest and making it feel impressive, relaxing and special. I highly recommend iceland paradise tour company with his sole guide sultan mehmood. Every second worth it !
